I've returned back in time? How? Wait... I didn't even have used the power of chaos so how?
If I remember correctly the Khaos said that something started or happened meaning I wasn't the trigger rather I was caught into something.
Someone who could rewind time would be...the gambler king. Based on the novel king's memories each spell he can use are forbidden magic since any time related spell and skills are classified as bending the law of the world.

I checked my information and everything went back except for the two skills that I got by obtaining the two pages form Solomon's forbidden grimoire and my knowledge regarding runes.
"Udo"
As I call out for him, Udo appeared before me. He's the only one I can call right now since my mana is only [500] currently. Good thing he can go out by himself without relying on me.
I explain to him that time rewinded somehow. Normally Rita would be here instead of Khaos and the fact that I still have the two pages from Solomon's grimoire means that only the time in this world rewinded. The time for the spirit world as well as the time for the Gods were not affected by whatever cause for things to be like this again.
Now I see why the gambler king is called "Ruler of destiny". He can go back in time and redo things as much as he want to. By doing so he'd be able to acquire knowledge from the future and then use it to his advantage.
At the same time other people won't have any memories from what happened. Is it because the two of us have the class of "Hero" which is why even though time rewinded I still have my memories?
Even my inventory is empty.
The thing that bugs me is that he called me a "variable". Just how many times have he already rewinded time again and again I wonder.
At the same time I don't think that it's good for me. Just because time keeps going back in this world doesn't mean that the time in my world also goes back. The proof for my assumption would be the fact that the gambler king said that I was a "variable" which altered the future that he knows of.
Ugh, all this thinking is giving me a headache.
"System, how long until I can ask a question?"
[Time remaining: 9 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 15 hours, 29 minutes and 03 seconds]
That's the combination of the amount of time from all the questions I've ask. Meaning that the knowledge that I gain by using my privilege to ask questions will also stay with me.
"Udo, I want you to find May and kidnap her. Bring her here by midnight"
"Understood"
There's nothing I can do but to do what I can do right now. Conflicting myself about how in the world I came back in time would only waste my time.
As I went to where Zel's house was I started to ask the system again.
"If the things that I get from Solomon's forbidden grimoire and the knowledge that I gain from asking questions by using my privilege stays, how come
[That is because the forbidden creation spell
So that's why.
As I arrived to the small village the miasma have already started to grow around. I spread my aura covering it with my holy attribute. I don't have Nunu to give me some mana so I'll have to improvise which proves to be better than the method I used back then.
The zombies and skeletons who are wondering standed back giving way.
I look for Zel and founded him inside his house, hugging the corpse of his family.
"I can resurrect them if you want me to"
He looked at me with great disbelief and anger.
"I don't have much time so decide now"
He look back at the corpse of his wife and children. He then look at me again.
With tears falling down from his cheeks, "Please, save them"
I went closer to the dead bodies on his hands.
-Pandora gather mana. When something happens to me immediately cast healing on me.
-Understood, milord.
Good thing that their bodies haven't decayed yet.
"With the power of chaos, I now bring these four back to life"
[Consuming 1 chaos point]
As Zel's family was bring back to life, Pandora erected a a small dome which protected all of them from the miasma while healing Michael who is suffering for the consequence of using the power of chaos.
It's more bearable than I thought. Maybe its because the amount wasn't that much. I do feel uncomfortable about the fact that my bones are literally shaking right now. Other than that, nothing seems to be out of the norm. Maybe its because I lived my life being electrocuted everyday that this degree of pain doesn't bother me anymore.
After a while the miasma surrounding the small village dissipated I brought Zel and his family with me to an inn where I will bring Alfred and Nrowe.
Zel wholeheartedly thank me, the amount of gratitude is bigger than the time I summon the souls of his family.
"You better come back and pay, got that?!" The innkeeper yelled.
"Yes, yes. I promise that I will pay later on. I'll make sure to give you a lot. While we are at it can I have some food?"
"You imbecile!" She yelled.
"Just keep it in my tab"
I left them in the inn and continue to rescue Nrowe.
I begin the operation at dusk.
Compared to back then I don't have to dodge this mana sensors anymore. I simply waltz through undetected. I went to the basement and saw Nrowe. With the mana gathered by Pandora I healed her wounds and carried the unconscious cat girl back to the inn.
I ask Zel to take care of her and he said "You can leave it to me!"
It was nearing midnight so I went back to where we were supposed to meet. I found Udo restraining May with ease.
"May Belltear, a fallen noble who became an assassin with the hobby of experimenting with monsters and sometimes even with humans, correct?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm someone who knows you better than you think"
I handed out a contract stating the same contract we sign back then.
"Its a soul contract that neither of us can break. If we want to break it both parties must be willing to break it" I said.
She signed it after reading it, Udo then unrestrained her.
"Your first mission is to gather intel on all the nobles on this list" I gave her a paper which contains the names of all the nobles who are doing evil deeds. "Make sure not to get caught. That is all"
"Understood"
She sure do change fast.
...
Me and Udo head to the warehouse were the slaves were. After apprehending the criminals I took away all of their money. I have to get what I can since I'm broke right now.
-Udo, go around the city and find anyone who have a dark soul in them, capture as many as you can alive. Pandora will guide you.
-Understood. I shall execute it elegantly.
With Pandora I healed everyone including Alfred this time. His fatigue vanish and so I gave food that I bought from the inn.
"Your sister is safe. She in an inn right now with some of my companions"
"R-really?!"
"Yes"
After he ate I gave him some of my memories with him about the time I trained him. I then told him that time rewinded and I am now here to make things easier for him. Because of this, he believe every word that came out of my mouth afterwards. His loyalty to me increased to the same amount back then before time rewinded.
After taking him back to the inn. I went to where Udo was and there, he caught more than five hundred criminals in such a short amount of time
I killed all the criminals and collected their souls. I turn the souls into stat points and putting it all to [Agility]. I can increase the amount of strength by using warstyle and increase my stamina using magic. If I am not fast enough, I'll have to rely on my instincts again to save me against someone who is incredibly fast.
[Putting all stat points into
Whoa, my body suddenly feels light as a feather.
I went to the hill where the facility will be built to.
"Udo, gather some mana. Pandora, prepare to heal me"
They responded with "Understood"
With the mana collected from Udo, Michael summoned both Inosi and Blacky. Pandora healed Michael because Michael's mana capacity currently is only [500]. Summoning one mid rank and one high rank spirit in succession took a great toll on his body.
Both Inosi and Blacky were happy to see their master in good condition.
"Blacky I want you to create a hole there as big as the facility back then. Can you do it?"
"Yes, master. Give me four hours and I will complete it perfectly!"
"Inosi and Udo will go collect some logs. As many as you two can"
The three went to work immediately.
The sun rise and the log house with an underground facility was finish with great haste. The log house was four times bigger than before.
Michael escorted Alfred, Nrowe, Zel and his family here to live.
I called out for Zel and Nrowe who still have no idea who I am but I am planning on keeping it that way. I told them that I am the hero and that I need their help for my 'Conquest to save the world'.
They, of course, agreed without hesitating.
As they settled in no one should be able to know about their whereabouts since I've already inscribed a two layered camouflaging runic barrier around the whole house.
Sadly, Inosi and Blacky will have to go back to the spirit world. I still don't have an appropriate vessel for them to use.
May came back and I let her rest in her own room. I then sent all the dirt of certain nobles to Earl Jislore, anonymously.
The letter says that he can use the dirt I gave him in exchange the forest over here will be mine and that he won't tell anyone about this deal. Since I put quite a lot of holy attribute on the letter he must be thinking that I am a good guy.
"Master, are you planning on going to the sirens?"
"Yes. But that will have to wait. For now our objective is to acquire the spell book from Hel's labyrinth"
Everyone have a limit to how many spells they can learn as well as for the number of skill they can have. As for me I only have a hundred spell that I can use which is why I am fixated on using grand and forbidden magic. While I have 25 skills that I can acquire.
I went to the same spot and save Airaloa from her pursuers. I brought her back to the log house, conscious this time and made her sign a contract.
I may know some things regarding the future but her power is still convenient to have.
...
I taught Alfred how to use aura again for a whole month while teaching Nrowe the same thing as back then. Me and Alfred didn't bothered leveling up since I won't be able to raise my stats again later on and Alfred's mental erosion will begin if he levels up.
I left them and went to Wizfrost to encounter the ruler of the sea, Leviathan.
After some days, the ships that will be targeted by the soulless sea serpents came.
As the sea serpents came Udo dealt with it quickly. The people on board praise him and was filled with gratitude.
The ship stop and the ground started to shake.
"Orlere, Kaota, you guys know what to do right?"
The two nodded.
The giant snake appeared that seems to be as tall as a mountain.
As the giant sea serpent blasted a very high pressured water blast the hell hound use all of its power to change the trajectory of the blast while the demon cat devoured a tenth of the blast.
Udo created a giant shield of water stopping the remaining water blast that wasn't redirected.
A woman walk towards Michael who appeared out of nowhere. With each step, everything turned frozen solid.
Here we go.
"One of the seven demon generals and also the ruler of the sea, Sea King Leviathan, correct?" I said.
"Spirit King? It is my first time seeing you. Regarding what you said about me is correct. It seems like I don't need to introduce myself then"
From what Levi told me before, she is the apostle of the Demon god of Wrath. Well for someone who has a "King" for their title it would be normal to assume that they are also an apostle since Gods wants to have a capable apostle to begin with.
"Let me cut to the chase" I handed out a contract paper to him "I want you to owe me one favor which you cannot refuse by any means necessary in exchange I will put you brother's soul back into his body"
Leviathan released a ridiculous amount of mana and blood lust upon hearing my words. Udo protected me from it.
"How do you know about that?"
"I have my own ways. I am a king after all despite having little mana capacity"
He read the contract again and again.
I'm sure that Satan is telling him what to do by now.
"Fine"
He then sign the contract and I put his brother's soul back into its body.
Ugh, its still hard just like back then.
The two left. I went to the mayor's house saying that I can cure her son.
The only thing that is part of the contract is that Levi will owe me one in exchange for me putting back his brother's soul into his body. It wasn't part of our deal for him to remove the curse on Kyle.
I did the ritual on how to summon spirits and successfully removed the cursed from Kyle's body. The cursed spirit that I summoned politely knelt down and ask if he can be my servant.
Gosh, being the "Spirit King" sure have its own perks.
Dean, the curse spirit went back to the spirit world since he can't maintain his form here. He is a low rank spirit after all.
After 'curing' Kyle I had a chat with the mayor. I now have a good standing in her eyes and I now have the privilege of buying magi stones directly from her with a twenty percent discount.
This is a lot better than back then so I have no complaint at all.
After dealing with that I went to the newly form dungeon hidden somewhere east of Wizfrost.
Me and Udo went straight down to the dragon who is imprisoned here.
Thanks to going back in time, the curse from the dragon king also vanish. The system told me that the dragon god didn't knew about the "going back in time" ability of the gambler king.
I walk towards the dragon who is howling. I ignored him. I walk nonchalantly towards the dragon and put my hand on him.
With Pandora's help I completely healed the dragon and release him from his shackles.
"I'm sorry but I still need Nunu back"
I put Nunu's memories which were recorded and saved by

His name changed. Well I will still call him Nunu though.
The dragon turn into a humanoid. With the same looks as back then he knelt down and bowed to Michael.
"I know that you want to meet her but you'll have to wait a bit longer. Okay?"
"I... understand"
We went back to the surface after I collected all the treasures in the dungeon. For the next week I created the car and went back to the house. I told them that I'll be leaving to the central continent. The kids cried while Zel's wife Irene drag them away.
Just like back then I entrusted the soon to be facility that will be run by criminals under Nrowe's command. I also gave some of her memories back so that her actions will be more accurate and more efficient.
After some days, me and Nunu boarded the ship. And prepared our plan to get the attention of the little demon, Jade Aplora.
After some hours, Udo created a giant water snake with his magic, making the passengers panic.
Nunu turn into a dragon. He then flew into the sky and used his
To begin with no one knows that hero have appeared since I still haven't introduced myself. So it would be impossible for Phoebe and Talep to be here right now.
As Nunu returned to his human form he received a lot of praise from the passengers and the crew.
We went back to our room and the demon came.
"Who is it?"
"It is I, Jade Aplora, the apostle of the Goddess of Beauty. I would like to talk with the noble dragon who took out the gigantic snake earlier"
[The Goddess of Beauty is enraged by the claims of the foolish one]
Yup, she still is a demon. For her to say that she is an apostle of a goddess is the same thing as tarnishing that goddess' name.
I let them in. Jade, the demonic bitch, push me away and woo Nunu right away.
She bowed gently whilst raising her dress lightly and said "It is an honor to meet you Sir. Nunu. Your actions earlier were simply breathtaking and so I have come to show my gratitude for saving everyone on this ship"
The two bodyguards also bowed down to Nunu.
-Master, can I kill her?
-No, you can't.
-May I use your name just this once, master?
-Go ahead~.
He's probably thinking about that.
"Get out! You dare say that you are here to show gratitude when you push away my father?! Ridiculous!!!"
He sure is getting smarter on how to handle this kind of thing.
The three were shock, they anticipated that Michael was a servant since they thought he was a human with his little mana while Nunu is a dragon.
"I, I am sorry for my discourtesy!" She said as she bowed down towards me this time.
"You heard my son, get out, you demonic bitch"
I need to anger her if I want to meet up with Maximos later on. If I remember correctly Fin Aplora offered him a fifty percent discount on all his store for the next year if he can bring me to him so that Fin can torture the hell out of me himself.
Infuriated, she swallowed her pride and went out. She knew very well how strong a dragon is. If she don't back down now she know very well that she will be killed on the spot.
After a day we reach the central continent. We immediately went down and went to where the shady black market is.
We teleported inside, to where the lone guard which is why I still don't know why the hell is he even there, and knock him out. We entered the room and enslaved the guys while taking Alister with us.
"Nunu, go"
Nunu then fired a grand magic towards the guards who came. Since we entered loudly on purpose the guards heard it and went here earlier than back then. I then collected all the souls and went out. Since Nunu now has aura it was easier to teleport back outside.
I returned Alister's memories. Some of it. And he quickly join the gang after I explained what happened.
We then went to the city where the outbreak will happen.
